About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner since the age of five and currently share my home with two lovable dogs, Nelly and Thanos. They enjoy welcoming new furry friends, and we truly believe the more, the merrier. As someone who travels often, I understand how reassuring it is to know your dog is in caring, reliable hands. Dogs have always been a constant source of joy in my life, and I treat every pup as if they were my own. I’d be honored to care for and spoil your fur baby while you’re away. I do work full-time. However, my schedule is really flexible which allows me to spend quality time with your fur baby as well as my own. There will be plenty of time for outdoor and indoor play which will get us ready for some nighttime snuggles. I have a fenced in yard and I watch my pets as well as yours to ensure safety. In addition, I can crate your dog, if needed, but I have two friendly fur babies that enjoy other friends.

About: I’ve casually pet sit for friends and family for years. Now that I have more free time, I’d love to take of your cat, dog, or other pet! I have a lot of free time while I’m researching how to become a public school teacher. As I spend some time figuring out my new career, I’d love to help out with your cat, dog, or other pet! I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own. I have experience caring for dogs and cats. I have been babysitting and nannying for years, so I’m very familiar with being left alone in a clients house. I know how to respect someone’s space.

“This was my first experience with Rover and Violeta set the bar very high. My cat has a lot of needs and Violeta did a great job meeting those needs and keeping me informed while I was away.”

About: I've lived with and cared for dogs for my entire life; I love all animals, big, small, young, old and anywhere in between, the more animals the better! I have experience with dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, and fish and I get along with all of them. I am available for early mornings and late nights as well as weekends. I am also familiar with and unphased by the less glamorous sides of pet care, I don't mind cleaning up after puppy accidents, I have some experience grooming our shaggier four legged friends, and I know how to administer most puppy medications. I work from home so my availability is wide open for whatever you and your animals need. I am an extremely active person so there is no limit to much I will love and play with your pup, but I will also be patient and sensitive to nervous dog and cats. There is no puppy personality that I don't love. I can't wait to meet your dog! I work remote Monday - Wednesday. I also have weekends and evenings available for more involved activities. When im not pet sitting i like to take my own dog for hiking/ camping adventures! A typical day starts with breakfast and a nice romp around the yard, or brisque walk around the neighborhood so your dog can go potty and get out some morning energy. I have a flexible schedule at work so i can take frequent breaks to play and attend to your critters needs. In the evenings, im free again and i like to spend time being active, whether its a long walk, a game of fetch, or even an adventure to the park

About: I am a very active and energetic person and love seeing the joy in all dogs. I have a 4 year old rescue who is also very energetic! She keeps me on my feet! Dogs love me because I love giving them attention all the time, I like to spoil them because that is what all dogs deserve! I am a great multitasker so I can give your dogs all the attention they need. I treat all dogs as if they are my family. I am currently working part time at UD and I work from home, so I will have plenty time for your pets! Also dogs make me the happiest! The way I care for pets is showing them lots of attention when they want it. I play with them physically and mentally. I have simple games that can stimulate your dogs mind.

About: I've had dogs for over 25 years and most recently I'm caring for a dog with a seizure disorder. Everything from young energetic puppies to elderly dogs. I have worked with an organization called Missing Pet Partnership (an organization started by a police officer who trained scent detection dogs). I was trained to find lost pets and the psychology of dogs and cats including training in pet first aid and CPR. My previous career was as a special education teacher. I now work full-time from home. I would love to play with and care for your pup! No pet too big or small. I hope to hear from you, thanks. I am currently working full-time from home and I will have plenty of time to play with your for baby I'm available for boarding on weekdays, weekends, nights and even holidays. I work from home and have a very large fenced yard that is fully secure for the smallest dog and 5 and a 1/2 feet tall for larger dogs. My home is set back from the road on a quiet private street for your peace of mind. I have two small friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if needed based on your preference and socialization with my dogs is entirely up to you. My home has separate areas to accommodate a variety of situations including multi pet homes that crate and rotate dogs, dogs with medical needs who need to be in separate areas, etc. For overnight stays I will tailor your dogs experience to ensure it is a home away from home.

“Shanisa is an absolute blessing for my dogs. She sends me videos and pictures that brighten my day. Thank you for taking such good care of my pups Shanisa!!”

About: Hi! I’m Lindsay. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without one. Growing up, my family always had a dog, so caring for them has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. When my fiancé and I bought our first home together, one of the first things we did was welcome our golden retriever, Margo, into our family. She truly has become the best part of our day, and caring for her has only strengthened my love for dogs. From daily walks and playtime to training, grooming, and plenty of cuddles, I understand how important it is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive lots of love, patience, and personalized care so you can have peace of mind. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM in Wilmington, which makes me available for evening drop-in visits and walks after work. I know how important it is for dogs to get a potty break, exercise, and some companionship if you’re working late, have dinner plans, or simply can’t make it home right away. I’m also available on weekends and am happy to accommodate visits whenever possible. Since weekend plans can vary, I appreciate a little extra advance notice so I can make sure I’m available for your pup. I always strive to be reliable, communicative, and flexible, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love and attention I give my own pup. I will always treat your home as my own to create the best experience possible for you and your pup! At this time I will not be offering services in my home.

“Destiny is AMAZING! After having to cancel a horrible dog sitter she immediately stepped up to help. My dog absolutely loves her! She is a 10/10 and will always try to book with her first!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had my own dog, Oreo, for the past 5 years, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. In addition to my own dog, I’ve also helped take care of friends’ and family members’ pets, giving me experience with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around animals. I make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and affection they deserve, whether that’s keeping up with their normal routine, giving them extra playtime, or just making them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m available Monday through Saturday after 4 PM, with full availability on Sundays. I also have some days off, which gives me additional daytime availability during both weekdays and weekends. My schedule is consistent and flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or extra attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

I can easily crate your dog if needed and will make sure your fur baby gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while they’re with me.

“Arrived promptly on schedule and spent quality time with our two dogs. Sent pictures each time. Will certainly use Lisa’s service again and would recommend her for those looking for a compassionate animal caregiver.”

“Olivia watched my two dogs during my wedding day. It was such a relief to have her there since I was gone for so long that day. She was very responsive to messages and updates, which is important when I only had a second to check in during the night. She was able to handle both dogs (which can be a handful) and took them for nice long walks. They were exhausted by the end of the night. Thanks so much Olivia!!”

About: 🛑 PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING🛑: I own 2 cats. Even though my Cats have their own room your dogs must be ok with or have been around cats and knows basic commands. If your dog is medium or large size you MUST bring a cage. I will only use the cage for when I'm at work and I need to let the cats out their room. But when i'm home the dogs have free range even on my bed 😂 Before 2021: I've been pet sitting/walking for friends/neighbors for 5 years & on certain occasions I've been a dog/cat boarder for them, but I've been a dog walker for 5.5 years. 2 of the recurring dogs that I pet sit has had health issues, so I'm able to follow strict instructions given by the owners to take care of their pets in the best way possible whether it's just for a walk or pet sitting. UPDATE JULY 2025: Sorry to any specific owners but unless you are one of the 4 clients I've had since age 20, I will NOT be pet sitting/dropping in on CERTAIN snakes and ALL spiders. My soul will leave my body. The only reason why that is, is because I have a good rapport with the 4 clients and known some of their snakes since they were either in an egg or as a baby so I know their temperament . I'm okay with other reptiles, certain snakes, & pet birds. Some examples are Bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, Iguanas, African Egg-Eating Snake, Western Hognose, Children’s python, Kenyan sand and Rosy boa. DM for list since there's a caption limit. UPDATE JULY 2025: Depending on my boss I work from Mon-Wed 11pm-7/7:30am, Fri-Sun 6pm-2am, off days maybe Tuesday (after 7:30am), Thursday & sometimes Friday. I will communicate if I happen to work a double or if I'm late since I have to rely on other coworkers to relieve me from my shift. Due to work I will not be petting sitting pets that can't stay alone for more 4-6hrs anymore. But if you need drop-ins for your pets medicine time especially for some of my older clients on all the apps I've been on I remember I will gladly do that when I have time. This is mostly for the cats and small dogs I might be open for boarding. I do own two cats they are up to date with their shots. I know how they react to other cats since I had them for a year, but as for dogs I'm not too sure until I get my own dog. Also, for the most part my yard is fenced is just one side of the fence has not been fully fixed yet so when we are outside in the yard they will be on harnesses for the cats and dogs since I will be outside with them. I also have a an in ground pool that's covered. Also, there's a mix of stray and outdoor cats in my neighborhood and for some, they like to hang out in my front and backyard (they do get in from the broken side of the fence). Mainly for shelter underneath my porch since it's elevated and hides them from this ungodly heat. Plus it doesn't help that me, my dad and my neighbors, do occasionally feed them if we notice that they get too skinny and one of other neighbors bought one of those insulated and heated shelters for the cats to stay in during the winter last year. Fun fact that's how I ended up with my 2nd cat as pet.

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats and love all animals. I have had 2 golden retrievers, Tucker and Trey. Last summer I worked full time for Camp Bow Wow as a dog walker and pet sitter. I have also taken care of my neighbor's, friend's and family's pets. I am a pediatric nurse and I love to walk and be outdoors. I work full time during the day as a school nurse. I am available for holidays, weekends and some evenings to walk or care for pets. I am available when the students are off of school. I own a single split level home in a wonderful, safe neighborhood. I have a large, fenced in back yard. My home is pet friendly and comfortable.

“Coleen took care of our dog in her home and also drove to our house to take care of our cat. Our puppy came home happy and worn out from all the fun! Definitely recommend.”
